rockinmemories4U selling fake autographs please check out and pass the word

How to buy celebrity autographs and music memorabilia at auctions without getting ripped off.

 

Assume the autographs are fake.

Sometimes you just have enough. Brian Waring, a collector from Colorado, was one such fellow. He tried to sell a Beatles-signed Abbey Road and a Stones-signed Sticky Fingers album on eBay, but his listings were kicked-off because they thought they were forgeries.
